Toys and Games Reviews of Learning Resources Pretend and Play Teaching Telephone
Customer Review: Great toy!
Summary: 4 Stars
As I mentioned in several other reviews, I have wasted a lot of money (unfortunately) this holiday season. I hope I learn for next year. This was NOT a waste. The Disney Princess phone I bought before this one was a waste. I bought that one thinking it was somewhat educational. It wasn't. So, I bought this one. Really, four year olds (even four year old Princesses) don't need a pretend phone with recordings of pretend Princesses. They really can use this phone, though. It's a great teaching tool.
Most households today have several different phone numbers-- in our home, we all have cells (except for my little one), and then we have the landline we rarely use. This is the only deficiency I see with this phone. It would be cool if it were able to recognize several numbers and if everyone in the household with a separate number were able to record a message. Unfortunately, you can only record one message at a time. Your child learns to call the phone number and if she dials correctly, she hears a previously recorded message from either Mommy, Daddy, or whomever made the recording. Once she learns this number, we'll go on to the next phone number.
Additionally, it's a great tool to teach 911 use. And, coincidentally, sometimes my husband teases her and pretends he's a zombie (this is in FUN, she laughs-- it's not scary). Anyways, when he did this the last time, she immediately called 911 on this phone and said, "Help! My daddy is a zombie! Please help!" So, needless to say, this is one of her favorite things to do now. She thinks it's absolutely hysterical.
I bought this with the Learning Resources Cash Register which is, in my opinion, also an excellent toy-- even better than this (if you're only going to buy one and can't decide). Now she puts them both on the table, and plays "work". She runs a store and gets on the phone occasionally as she handles all her customers. It really is a fun thing to do and both of these toys are so realistic and of very superior quality.
I can't recommend this toy highly enough. My daughter immediately asked me if this was real when I gave it to her. I said it's not real, but it would teach her how to use the real phone. She was thrilled and really enjoys learning how to dial the numbers on her own.

Kids love to emulate adults around them--give them the pleasure of learning to use their very own phone with the Pretend & Play Teaching Telephone. The bright red and yellow plastic unit measures 7 inches across and has large buttons for easy use. Program in a number (your home, for example) and record a message for the kids to hear when they get it right. There's also an emergency message associated with 911 to teach them what to do when trouble strikes. Other fun features include speed dial and an 11-digit display. --Rob Lightner
